Current graduate students\, undergraduates\, prospective students\, and community members interested in building meaningful\, resilient careers in humanities-related fields are welcome to attend.  \n\n\n\nStick around after the talk for a meet and greet with panelists\, a reception with refreshments\, and a chance to chat with career advisors from UWM’s Student Experience and Talent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Panelists\n\n\n\n\nKatelyn Hemmeke\, Senior Editor at Inklore (Penguin Random House)\n\n\n\n\nKatelyn Hemmeke (she/her) is a senior editor at Inklore (an imprint of Penguin Random House). Born in South Korea and raised in rural Michigan\, she earned her B.A. in creative writing and Spanish at Hope College and her M.A. in English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She spent multiple years teaching and conducting research in South Korea as a two-time U.S. Fulbright Award recipient. After dabbling in roles ranging from university admin to nonprofit development/fundraising\, Katelyn found her niche in Korean-to-English localization and worked at scroll platforms including Tappytoon and WEBTOON. Those experiences led to her current position at Inklore\, where she edits English print adaptations of Korean webcomics and webnovels. Her work earned her a Publisher’s Weekly Star Watch nomination in 2025.  \n\n\n\n\nErica Machulak\, Founder & Director\, Hikma\n\n\n\n\nErica Machulak\, PhD\, is a medievalist turned entrepreneur and the author of Hustles for Humanists: Build a Business with Purpose (Rutgers University Press 2025). As the Founder of Hikma\, she leads a social impact startup with a mission to mobilize scholarship for the public good through consulting\, capacity building\, and storytelling. Over the past five years\, Hikma clients have secured $12.5M+ in funding to create evidence-based resources and tools\, inform policies\, and craft accessible communications published by Forbes\, the CBC\, and other platforms. Erica has delivered training at universities around the world and through “Plan for Research Impact\,” a Hikma course certified by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research.  \n\n\n\nAs a writer\, editor\, and facilitator\, Erica believes that the world needs to hear more from people who resist easy answers. Her work has been featured in Inside Higher Ed\, the Journal of Electronic Publishing\, and Humanities\, the magazine of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and other major publications. She holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (BA)\, the University of Oxford (MSt.)\, and the University of Notre Dame (PhD).  \n\n\n\n\nJon McCray Jones\, Policy Analyst\, American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin\n\n\n\n\nJon McCray Jones graduated from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2021 with dual undergraduate degrees in Philosophy and Political Science. After graduating\, he worked full time at WAVE Educational Fund\, advocating for evidence-based gun violence prevention and rational gun policy in Wisconsin. He later worked for Congresswoman Gwen Moore before joining the ACLU of Wisconsin\, where he is now a policy analyst and focuses heavily on surveillance\, privacy\, and civil liberties. His research and expertise on police surveillance technologies\, particularly Flock and automated license plate readers\, has been sought out by advocates\, attorneys\, and organizations across the country. He also does extensive policy work around LGBTQ+ rights\, with a particular focus on protecting transgender people in Wisconsin.  \n\n\n\nOutside of policy advocacy\, Jon has a second career in Chicago’s dance music scene as a techno DJ and rave curator. He is a resident DJ and co-founder of a queer dance party that centers bisexual and pansexual communities.  \n\n\n\n\nJamee N. Pritchard\, Special Assistant to the Executive Director\, Bronzeville Center for the Arts\n\n\n\n\nJamee N.

She holds a Ph.D. in African and African Diaspora Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, as well as master’s degrees in library and information science and public history. Her professional interests include researching\, interpreting\, and curating archives and special collections that foreground the histories and cultural contributions of Black women and girls and other communities of color.  \n\n\n\nExamining Black girls’ engagement with science fiction\, fantasy\, and horror\, Pritchard’s dissertation considers Black women’s speculative fiction as an alternative archive for studying Black girlhood and (re)imagining Black girls’ futurity. Her broader research interests include Black women’s writing and literary activism and Black readerships of popular fiction.  \n\n\n\nPritchard currently serves as Special Assistant to the Executive Director at the Bronzeville Center for the Arts\, where she supports executive leadership\, institutional initiatives\, and public programming.  \n\n\n\n\nMonica VanBladel\, Associate Director\, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\n\n\n\n\nMonica VanBladel is an educator and program manager working in Latin American studies and public engagement.

Tamalpais College\, and Stanford University. She holds a B.A. in Spanish and Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D. in Iberian and Latin American Cultures from Stanford University.

SUMMARY:State of the Humanities MKE
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, October 30\, 4:00 – 6:30 PM\n\n\n\n175 Curtin Hall\n\n\n\n3243 N Downer Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\n\nJoin the Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) at UW-Milwaukee for a panel discussion that explores how Milwaukeeans and Milwaukee organizations might sustain\, expand\, and care for the humanities across our city. \n\n\n\nIn October 2024\, the Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes’ World Humanities Report warned of extinction risk to human knowledge. In the year that’s passed since that report’s publication\, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting lost its federal funding\, the National Endowment for the Humanities was radically restructured\, causing state humanities agencies to lose funding to the point of near closure\, and multiple U.S. universities have taken steps to shrink\, pause\, or shutter humanities degree-granting programs.  \n\n\n\nBut the resilience of humanities practices and institutions in the face of so much uncertainty evinces their value\, and merits further dialogue. \n\n\n\nThe State of the Humanities MKE panel\, moderated by C21 Director Jennifer Johung\, invites four Milwaukee-based humanities advocates—Michael Carriere (MSOE)\, Art Derse (MCW)\, Jodi Eastberg (MIAD)\, and Maggie Nettesheim Hoffmann (Marquette)—to discuss: \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s important about the humanities in Milwaukee\, especially in our current moment? \n\n\n\nWhat are we fighting to sustain\, expand\, or ideate? \n\n\n\nHow can we care for the humanities in MKE? What does this look like? \n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. Prior registration is required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter the panel\, guests are invited to head upstairs to C21’s headquarters for a reception with light refreshments and breakout discussions about actionable steps everyone can take to make Milwaukee a haven for humanists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Panelists\n\n\n\nMichael H.

He is the co-author\, with David Schalliol\, of The City Creative: The Rise of Urban Placemaking in Contemporary America (The University of Chicago Press\, 2021). He holds a Ph.D. in American history from The University of Chicago.  \n\n\n\nArthur R. Derse\, M.D.\, J.D. is Director of the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities\, and is Julia and David Uihlein Chair in Medical Humanities\, and Professor of Bioethics and Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). He directs the MCW Medical Humanities Program and is co-director of the school’s Bioethics and Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration.
